Things Even I Can Do: Episode 3. This video shows how to replace a recessed Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) Bulb. These bulbs, which are often found in the ceilings of kitchens and bathrooms, are trickier to replace than most because they don't twist in. The bulbs have little pins/prongs. Don't just try to twist the bulb or yank it by grasping the bulb and pulling. You're likely to break it in your hand. Instead, follow this step by step tutorial and save yourself some time and frustration.
